Is the following measurement a vector quantity or a scalar quantity? 68 km south

vector quantity

explanation:

the quantities which are completely described by their magnitude only are called scalar quantities. for example, mass, time, length, etc.

the quantities which are completely described by their magnitude and direction both are called vector quantities. for example, weight, force, displacement, velocity, etc.

here, it is 68 km south, it shows a direction is given so it s a vector quantity.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
